The Rush 2012
The UKSSA have once again been invited back to Brands Hatch by Glen Horncastle and his team at Time Attack and Modified Live (see http://www.timeattack.co.uk/ for details) They liked what they saw last year and so we’re back to race on the GP loop while their event takes place on the Indy Circuit.
The Rush 2012 will be taking place on Sunday 8th July – unlike last year we only have the track for one day so given the allotted time I am conscious that we manage expectations, so rather than try to cram too much in I want to keep things simple. Therefore UKSSA will be running the GS as the main “Rush” event, this will run down from Derek Minter Straight to Hawthorn Bend as last year. We will also run some additional fun “gauntlet style” dual hybrid races as well as a 100 cone challenge on Hawthorn Hill.
I hope to get another two day event laid on later in the coming months where we can stage a full weekend race schedule and obtain ISSA Prime status - the British Championships possibly? - anyway more news on that as it comes.

While we are racing on the Hawthorn side of the track Jamie Tharp and the Dangerous Decks crew along with London Longboards will be running various workshops/clinics as well as slide competitions etc. over on Dingle Dell. If you have not previously experienced the thrill of racing or riding at Brands Hatch here is your ideal opportunity to do just that.
Camping is available to us on Saturday night at a cost of £15 per head; we may have our own spot near our race site rather than in the main “petrol-heads” campsite over the other side of the track as last year but this is dependant on the number of campers? If you are camping you can arrive from 5.00pm on Saturday afternoon. Be warned though it may be busy around this time, traffic will be exiting from the days racing.
